UAE's assertive foreign policy in focus

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been very active in the Middle East and Africa, trying to make sure countries are stable and not controlled by groups they don't like.

They have been working with different countries and groups to achieve this.

For example, in Yemen, they support a group called the Southern Transitional Council.

In Egypt, they have given a lot of money to help the government.

They have also been involved in Sudan, Chad, Libya, and even made peace with Israel.

Some people say the UAE's actions have made things worse, but the UAE says they are only trying to help.
